What this shows Ross's Innovation Score is 29.6/100 (31st percentile of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Ross?

Each dot is one of Ross’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Ross’s own 15.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ross's grants concentrate

Ross Operating Valve Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under F15B (Systems Acting BY Means OF Fluids IN GENERAL; Fluid-pressure Actuators, e.g. SERVOMOTORS; Details OF Fluid-pressure Systems, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Ross sits between Roly LLC and Rules Based Medicine Inc..

Ross's three-year grant acceleration

Ross Operating Valve Company shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
